Earlier in 2014, WA DNR purchased the Gold Bar bouldering area from Manke Timber. Pedestrian access up the road and climbing are permitted to continue. Please remember to never block the gate with your car. Display your Discovery Pass and be respectful with DNR staff when they are on site to maintain the property. WCC, Access Fund and our partners are actively working with DNR on planning efforts. Stay posted at washingtonclimbers.org.

This information is a public crowdsourcing effort between the Access Fund,
and Mountain Project.You should confirm closures, restrictions, and/or related dates.
